Fab Freebie: Getting ‘Toned

***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***

And the lucky winner of some Pantone-tastic paint is… Gretchen (who’s really into “robin’s egg blue with a few pops of tangerine”). Congrats!

Y’all have heard of a little thing called Pantone, right? Well the folks who declared Emerald the color of the year have a slew of color experts who have also inspired a line of paint. And our bloggy friend/decorative painter Kristen clued us into MyColor inspired by Pantone – which is a series of project-sized paints for furniture, accessories, walls and beyond. In addition to the cool clear packaging, these quarts of eggshell paint (which are sold online and at Lowe’s) are ultra low VOC, stain blocking, and self priming. And one of you is gonna get EIGHT quarts in any of their 49 paint colors!

MyColorbyPantone Giveaway

  • PRIZE: Eight quarts of MyColor inspired by Pantone paints in any color (an $100 value)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “PANTONE ME” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … if you had to declare a color of YOUR year, what would it be? Are you craving all things red lately (Sherry is)? Do all of your clothing purchases seem to be in the aqua family? Or are you right with the Pantone folks on emerald this year?
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: We always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond specific areas (more on that here). This giveaway is open to the United States.
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 24th or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…

    PANTONE ME! My color of the year is yellow! I’m not sure if it’s on my mind because my wedding colors are yellow and gray, but I seem to be gravitating toward yellow in all aspects of my life!

    This years color for me is grey. Shades of steel, charcoal, ash, silver… I am loving it all! Thinking of an overhaul on my daughters nursery with some Grey and Burnt Orange.

    Pantone Me! I have gone through 3 colors this year. It started with painting all or our nasty pink-beige walls grey. Then it went on to emerald. Now all I want is some fun coral accents to add. :)

    My colors of the year are probably teal and grey. No matter how much I try to not buy grey colored clothes, it always sucks me back in! It’s my fav neutral shade I guess. Plus who doesn’t love teal!?! Reminds me of the water in Mexico!

    I’m definitely crushing on the Emerald, but my husband isn’t as gung-ho about it as I am. We are going to paint an antique china cabinet, and I’m dying to bring in a bright, bold color, and Ocean Depths is calling me.

    I’m loving everything BLUE. My wedding colors are Navy blue and Hot Pink. I’m finding that I am gravitating towards everything Navy without even realizing it. My poor niece almost got 5 outfits for her birthday that were all Navy and Pink until I realized what I was holding in my had. Then I switched a couple out for Navy and Green! :)
